Introduction to Sociology course.
Civil Rights Movement
The Civil Right movement was formed for Africans to secure
economic rights, social rights, and full political rights in the
1950’s through 1968. The Civil Rights Movement was sought to
improve quality for African Americans. On July 2, 1964,
President Lyndon B. Johnson signed The Civil Rights Act. This
act outlawed discrimination based on race, national origin,
color, sex, and religion.
What I know about The Civil Right Movement is that it is the
largest and most successful push towards social change in
history. Rosa Parks was known to be the first black person to
give up her seat to a white man. Claudette Colvin was actually
the first black woman to refuse her seat to a white man nine
months before Rosa Parks in Montgomery Alabama. Claudette
was arrested, and the Women Political Council (WPC) called for
a boycott against the bus system. Claudette testified before a
three-judge panel and days later the decision was made to end
bus segregation. Claudette was not made public by black leaders
because she was fifteen at that time, and she was reported as
being pregnant by a married man.
Today, African Americans are still fighting for equality,
and pioneers like Claudette Colvin, Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa
Parks, and Malcolm X among many others have paved the way
for today’s black leaders to continue to fight for black people to
have equal rights. I feel that The Civil Rights Act did not end
the problem entirely because African Americans are still
deprived of their constitutional rights, the civil rights activists
still took a stand for civil rights, and it ended Jim Crow’s
malicious laws.
In conclusion, I hope to gain new insight into the African
American’s standpoint during The Civil Right Movement
through my research.
